Pros

A lot of smart people in the organization that just need the latitude to do their jobs without the constant scrutiny.

Cons

Many of employees are concerned about female gender representation at this 1200-person company. As of 2025, our executive leader of People (who is female — and the only one!) isn't even featured on the company website, which sends a problematic message. This is sadly part of a much broader issue within the organization, and the executives. Recently, a qualified female candidate withdrew from our interview process specifically citing our many Glassdoor reviews about gender imbalance and the apparent absence of women in leadership. When I mentioned we actually do have female leaders, they responded that their invisibility was even more concerning. Particularly troubling is a particular leader in the finance department who has actively contributed to and historically blocked female hires—and disturbingly, this particular individual is themselves a woman. These individuals not only perpetuate a discriminatory culture but also lead through fear, intimidation and consistently demonstrate degrading and backstabbing behavior towards employees and even their leadership colleagues across the organization.

Pros

- Location - Somewhat interesting product space - The company has done reasonably well financially

Cons

- CEO runs it like his personal fiefdom and is a slave-driver; lots of execs and senior management staff have come and gone over the years. - The 4 founders have this weird co-dependency relationship where they bitterly criticize each other in private, but have stuck it out with each other all these years - There's no real joy in this place - CEO is untrustworthy - the code-base is messy, lots of long-term issues, a pain in the rear to deal with for the most part - No real career opportunities
